[Tex/LaTex] Line up extra y tick labels with extra y ticks

pgfplotsticks

I am trying to line up the extra y tick labels on this graph with the dashed lines and can't figure it out. How can I do this?

Thank you.

            ylabel = {$y$},

Best Answer

The values given to extra y ticks need to be numbers. You can't give sqrt(3) there. So we define a macro

\pgfmathsetmacro{\tmp}{sqrt(3)}

and use it.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.12}
\pgfmathsetmacro{\tmp}{sqrt(3)}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \begin{axis}[
            %standard,      %%<--- ????
            axis lines=middle,
            xlabel = $x$,
            ylabel = {$y$},
            xtick={\empty},
            ytick={\empty},
            extra x ticks={1,3},
            extra x tick labels={$x_0$,$x_0+h$},
            extra y ticks={1, \tmp, 1.5},
            extra y tick labels={$f(x_0)$, $f(x_0+h)$, $f(x_0+h)+h'(x_0+h)$},
        ]
        \addplot [
        domain=0:4,
        samples=100,
        color=black,
        ]
        {.5*x+.5};
        \addplot [
        domain=0:4,
        samples=100,
        color=black,
        ]
        {sqrt(x)};
        \addplot [dashed,
        domain=0:4,
        samples=2,
        ]
        {1};
        \addplot [dashed,
        domain=0:4,
        samples=2,
        ]
        {sqrt(3)};   %% or \tmp
        \addplot [dashed,
        domain=0:4,
        samples=2,
        ]
        {1.5};
        \end{axis}
     \end{tikzpicture}
